What should you create?
You have a Microsoft SQL Azure database named DBAzurel. DBAzurel contains a table
named Orders that stores sales data.
Each order has a sales total that can only be discovered by querying multiple tables.
You need to ensure that the value of the sales total is returned by executing a query on Orders.
What should you create?
How should you complete the table definition to reduce contention on the table structure?
DRAG DROP
You administer a SQL Server 2014 instance.
You have been assigned to determine the cause of frequent long-running transactions that
have been tracked to the dbo.Account table, where there are many cases of blocking and
deadlocks. The dbo.Account table contains more than one million rows.
Users and processes frequently search for and update data by using the AccountId column,
and less frequently the AccountNumber and GovernmentId columns, all of which contain
only unique values. Users frequently get lists of AccountNumber values by searching on Last
Name and then First Name.
You need to modify the structure of the dbo.Account table to alleviate the issues.
How should you complete the table definition to reduce contention on the table structure? To
answer, drag the appropriate code snippets to the correct locations in the CREATE TABLE
statement. Each code snippet may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may
need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
Which five code segments should you use?
DRAG DROP
You create a disk-based table that contains the following script:
You need to prevent duplicate values in the SKU field.
Which five code segments should you use?
To answer, move the appropriate code segments from the list of code segments to the
answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
What should you recommend creating?
Your network contains a server that has SQL Server 2014 installed.
You create a table by using the following script:
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that each combination of ProductName and
ProductManufacturer is not duplicated.
What should you recommend creating?
You need to ensure that Person.Contact is always updated when UpdateContact executes
You have a Microsoft SQL Azure database.
You have the following stored procedure:
You discover that the stored procedure periodically fails to update Person.Contact.
You need to ensure that Person.Contact is always updated when UpdateContact executes.
The solution must minimize the amount of time required for the stored procedure to execute
and the number of locks held.
What should you do?
you need to deal with temporary data in the most efficient way to minimize physical disk pressure
You use SQL Server 2014. The physical server is a dedicated database server that has
120GB of RAM available. There is approximately 50GB of storage space available on a slow
local disk.
You create a new stored procedure. You decide you need to temporarily hold approximately
300,000 rows from two tables, from which you will compute two complex business scores.
The stored procedure will use temporary storage defined as follows:
The code will make several passes through the data, applying complex calculations before
writing the data to a permanent disk-based table in the same database from which it reads
the data.
For this stored procedure, you need to deal with temporary data in the most efficient way to
minimize physical disk pressure.
What should you do? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST
answer.

Scenario 1
Application Information
Your company receives invoices in XML format from customers. Currently, the invoices are
stored as files and processed by a desktop application. The application has several
performance and security issues. The application is being migrated to a SQL Server-based
solution. A schema named InvoiceSchema has been created for the invoices xml.
The data in the invoices is sometimes incomplete. The incomplete data must be stored and
processed as-is. Users cannot filter the data provided through views.
You are designing a SQL Server database named DB1 that will be used to receive, process,
and securely store the invoice data. A third-party Microsoft .NET Framework component will
be purchased to perform tax calculations. The third-party tax component will be provided as a
DLL file named Treytax.dll and a source code file named Amortize.cs. The component will
expose a class named TreyResearch and a method named Amortize(). The files are located in
c:\temp\.
The following graphic shows the planned tables:
You have a sequence named Accounting.InvoiceID_Seq.
You plan to create two certificates named CERT1 and CERT2. You will create CERT1 in
master. You will create CERT2 in DB1.
You have a legacy application that requires the ability to generate dynamic T-SQL statements
against DB1. A sample of the queries generated by the legacy application appears in
Legacy.sql.
Application Requirements
The planned database has the following requirements:
• All stored procedures must be signed.
• The original XML invoices must be stored in the database.
• An XML schema must be used to validate the invoice data.
• Dynamic T-SQL statements must be converted to stored procedures.
• Access to the .NET Framework tax components must be available to T-SQL objects.
• Columns must be defined by using data types that minimize the amount of space used
by each table.
• Invoices stored in the InvoiceStatus table must refer to an invoice by the same
identifier used by the Invoice table.
• To protect against the theft of backup disks, invoice data must be protected by using
the highest level of encryption.
• The solution must provide a table-valued function that provides users with the ability
to filter invoices by customer.
• Indexes must be optimized periodically based on their fragmentation by using the
minimum amount of administrative effort.
Usp_InsertInvoices.sql
Invoices.xml
All customer IDs are 11 digits. The first three digits of a customer ID represent the customer’s
country. The remaining eight digits are the customer’s account number.
The following is a sample of a customer invoice in XML format:
InvoicesByCustomer.sql
Legacy.sql
CountryFromID.sql
IndexManagement.sql
###EndCaseStudy###
You are testing disaster recovery procedures.
You attempt to restore DB1 to a different server and you receive the following error
message: “Msg 33111.
Level 16, State 3, Line 1

You need to ensure that you can restore DB1 to a different server.
